True and in our human attempt to adequately describe such folks we use the words "totalitarian" and "terrorist", in reference to such organizations and governments as the People's Republic of China and individuals such as Osama bin Ladin. Such folks do not hesitate to "mess up other things for the cause". There is every reason, based on their history, to presume that they will conduct themselves in that way on Wikipedia and in fact they routinely do so, some crudely, some with a measure of sophistication.

only a minority are sufficiently obsessed with their cause to blithely mess up other things for the cause. So there's no reason to presume they're not comporting themselves properly here unless and until they actually do just that.
